I wrote a google apps script code, it will open a google spread sheet, and list the values by row, but there are 2 problems: 1. The output by random order. 2. The div text which id "loding" change to "Finished!" before list all of values. I thought the script will wait for server-side function return when I run it by "withSuccessHandler()", but it's not. How can I correct it?
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
<script>
function jsListValue() {
// Get count.
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(function(count) {
// List all values.
for( count; count>0; count=count-1) {
// Get a value.
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(function(content) {
// Shows in "output".
var new_div = document.createElement("div");
new_div.appendChild(document.createTextNode(content));
document.getElementById("output").appendChild(new_div);
}).gsGetValue(count);
}
// Change loding notice.
document.getElementById("loding").innerHTML = "Finished!";
}).gsGetCount();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="jsListValue()">
<div id="output"></div>
<div id="loding">Loding now...</div>
</body>
</html>
code.gs
function doGet() {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('index').setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
}
function gsOpenSheet() {
// Return sheet of the note data.
return (SpreadsheetApp.openById("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx").getSheetByName("sheet1"));
}
function gsGetCount() {
// Return last row index in this sheet.
return (gsOpenSheet().getLastRow());
}
function gsGetValue(index) {
// Return value in the (index,1).
return (gsOpenSheet().getRange(index,1).getValue());
}

GAS is very similar to Javascript, and all calls to Google's server side functions are asynchronous. You cannot change this (at least I haven't seen any doc reg. that).
What you can do, is, use a callback function on the client side which polls the server for a "success" return value. It'll keep polling it say for 1 minute, or else exit. Let it set a client flag to "true" if the success value is returned by the server. Nothing should proceed on the client side, unless the flag is true. In this way, you can control what happens on the client side.

You want to use withSuccessHandler Docs
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
<script>
function onSuccess(numUnread) {
var div = document.getElementById('output');
div.innerHTML = 'You have ' + numUnread
+ ' unread messages in your Gmail inbox.';
}
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(onSuccess)
.getUnreadEmails();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>
